    That's "everything" you could have done? Maybe last year. But the dolt conveniently glosses over the fact that he ignored the 5 MAN POSITION GROUP for half a decade in the draft. It's 5 positions you have to fill. Occasionally spending an early pick on it isn't going to cut it. They have to overcompensate just to get back to a normal level of attention. It also doesn't help when your most recent 1st round OL pick comes in pre-injured and sucks. Carimi? I thought he had that injury in the past, not that they drafted him with the injury.

    I have SUCH a hard time giving Angelo any credit for trying to right the ship when he has been so wrong int he past. While its true he tried to do a lot for the o-line this year, hes been so shortsighted in the past I just want to pile on him for the overall failure, including what he didn't accomplish this year. And he still had cap space, he truly could have BOUGHT an o-lineman if he wanted to.

    dropping f-bombs is not what I would call behavior acceptable from a mod

    Nate Silver is a god and his word is gospel. maybe there is a better way/approach, but I sure don't see anyone providing one.

    this, and with everything unresolved (from OU-UT perspective), it probably felt as if the timing wasn't right

    isn't this why McMahon when there? he grew up Catholic, wanted to play for Notre Dame but they had Montana and told him he would be a back-up. Of course, McMahon being McMahon, his response was screw you, I'll go to BYU, the Mormon school is that the kind of school you really want int he Big 12????????? the kind of school the likes of Jim McMahon use to spite his own religion??? i really mean nothing by this... I thought McMahon went there for Lavell Edwards. He was less than pleased to be a Catholic kid at a Mormon university. I like my story better.

    probably because they dont exist.

    no kidding. Butter's team has one good year and suddenly he's on par with Texas. and when Minnesota wins the Rose Bowl you can all bow to my greatness

    It'd be great if OU and Texas hang out and things settle a bit. But that's probably not enough to keep Missouri happy if the bigx or sec come calling. I feel like a declaration that big/dramatic/preposterous by Oklahoma kind of tips their hand towards the Pac-12. They've got to be gone at this point. How you doin? we got LOOOTS of $$ to spread around.. - Mr Delany

    MN was one that jumped out at me. Other than you, I've never met a MN fan outside the state. Even if they have that many fans, how many are watching cfb (or the gophers)? The Minneapolis/St. Paul area is a good sized market on its own merit, though, and the fans there are largely hockey/football fans. The Vikings are probably the primary draw, but U of Minnesota is the only decent game in town as colleges go. pretty much this. 3 mil metro area with 1 Div 1 school in the area. Tons of Wisconsin transfers as well do to a reciprocity program with Wisconsin. So there are more Wisconsin fans on MSP than gopher fans? I'd agree with that. no, but the influx of Wisconsinites attending Minnesota and vise/versa keeps the interest level in football very high.

    I mean, Silver's numbers place Minnesota at 28, which is higher then any other Pac school other then USC (17) or UCLA (25). Granted, U of MN is one of the largest schools int he country (65k when I was there), that says a lot for a program that has had maybe 3 winning seasons in the last 15 years. eta: we've had 6 winning seasons in the last 15. I cant believe it.

    I don't think it's that far off. The states of Texas and Oklahoma provided half of the original Big 12, and while they may not have the population numbers, they're very football crazy states. Nebraska is all football. Iowa St. is in a football state. Kansas really isn't a football state. I don't know what colorado is. Missouri either. But in general, the Big 12 was a football crazy footprint. It just doesn't have population numbers. Silver's numbers seem to indicate what MR s saying. While the Big 12 has some cfb-centric areas, they are not as cfb-centric as a whole compared to the Big Ten, and not at the top 3-4 teams either.

    I dont route for any team really. ;)
  25. minnesotacubsfan
    I'm not sure there's a better way to get data on college football interest across the country than what he's getting. Why do you question the numbers so much, because somehow Notre Dame isn't #1? They look pretty reasonable across the board to me. Silver is simply recognizing that the SEC and Big Ten are in good shape market-wise right now, so the only expansions that make sense for them would be to increase the average market, which adding PSU, Nebraska, and A&M do. Whereas the ACC adding Pitt and Syracuse, and the Pac-10 adding Colorado and Utah, do not. Thank you for assuming bias. bukie does make a good point, tho. Silver essentially takes numbers in relationship to a schools marketability that makes sense: fan base. What else, other then a schools willingness to pay top dollar and buy into a market, makes sense?
